Very nice.
Makes me want to find another that has not been dragged through the muskeg for two decades.
Do you know much about the history of these?
Mine has some horizontal slits near the muzzle .
Assuming brake / muzzle jump reducer as they are kinda pointed upwards.
Wonder if it was a factory touch or someone got it done later?
How do these typically compare to Parker Hale? The main visual difference I see is they don't as frequently exhibit faux weatherby styling.
I would but I am out of town working at the moment.
The only reference I have found for factory brakes shows them verticle.
I'm pretty sure it's a cf2.definatly a p.f action
The CF2 is very similar in design to the Husky 1900, and they are very good rifles. But not as sought after as the earlier controlled feed models. All the CF2's I've seen shot very well. The 6.5x55 CF2 is an extremely rare rifle and Hitzy's looks amazing, well worth holding on to. The stocks are typically not lightweight, and there is heaps of timber in them to allow for a nice refurbishment job.
I have a pair, 6.5x55 and a 30'06. Excellent quality rifles, I try not to tell anyone so they stay cheap (under $500 at Tradex)
Here is the 6.5x55

Action wise they are very different, PH is basically a commercial Mauser 98 (early ones were actual military 98 sporters). The actions were made in different places for PH...FN, Santa Barbara, Zastava.
BSA CF2 is a push feed design, they made the entire rifles in house, similar in quality and design to the Sako rifles of that era.
